1937 Map of Genesee

About this map

The headwaters of the Genesee River and the Allegheny River define this high plateau region in northern Potter County, where several drainages diverge near the New York state line. During the 1930s, the landscape was a network of narrow hollows and ridge-top settlements like Andrews Settlement and Bingham Center. The transportation infrastructure is particularly dense in the valleys, featuring the Baltimore and Ohio RR and the New York and Pennsylvania RR navigating the steep relief. A notable local landmark is the Ice Mine near Sweden Valley, a geological curiosity situated just off the Roosevelt Highway. Small-scale rural life is documented through numerous district schools, such as the North Hollow Sch and Fox Hill Sch, along with the No-Wan-We Boy Scout Camp, reflecting the area's mid-century community structure and transition into recreational land use.
